Old Enough
“HELLO?” “Sir, we saw Bill on the outskirts.” “What is he doing there?” he wondered. “He’s inside his car, looking through a binocular.” Helios averted his gaze. “Who is his intended victim?” “He’s got his eye on Zoe’s house, Sir.” “Secure the area,” Helios said, gripping the steering wheel tightly. “Call me right away if he does anything bad,” he said. “Roger that.” What does Chloe’s brother do in place of Zoe? Bill appears to have distanced himself from Helios over the last month. As well as Grant and Gunner. And he has a feeling Bill is going to start a fight between them. He hopes Bill has no intention of betraying him. Because of his marriage to his sister, his group is already considered an ally. But he doubts Bill will discover his phony marriage. As a result, they must collaborate to strengthen the mafia’s foundation. However, it is not impossible that there could be a traitor in the group. Helios would not hesitate to kill Bill if he discovered that he was involved in everything that was happening to him. … CINDY QUICKLY snatched Zoe’s bottle of water. “If you continue to give your daughter water instead of milk, she will get diarrhea. Where’s your mind, Zoe?” Helios called Cindy when Zoe continued to push him away because Cindy was closer to Zoe’s house. “I’m not sure what’s going on between you and Helios. Consider this: the man begged me to come here and keep an eye on you because you’re driving him away. Zoe is still speechless. Then, all of a sudden, tears welled up in her eyes. “Hand me first, Ela. You might lose your grip on her if you’re like that,” Cindy said as she took the
child from Zoe’s arms and carried her. Cindy was thankful for the child’s kindness. They had entered Zoe’s room. She doesn’t want to go downstairs because of the thoughts that are running through her head. Cindy has no idea why Zoe has been acting strangely since she arrived. But she was certain of one thing: it was a heart problem. “Zoe, tell me the truth. Do you genuinely love Helios?” Cindy inquired. She notices that Zoe appears to have stronger feelings for Helios, and she wants to confirm her suspicions. Zoe stares into nothingness. She’s sobbing now. “You will suffer if you do not let go of the pain. That’s what I’m saying.” Cindy took a look at the child. “What’s your mother’s problem, baby?” she inquired. Hela burst out laughing. Hela reached for Cindy’s hair and began to play with it. “Ouch!” she exclaimed as the young girl abruptly yanked her hair. “What happens now, Zoe? Are you going to talk all day or cry all day?” Zoe didn’t say anything but faked a laugh, and she appeared to be okay. “You’re going insane,” Cindy said. “H-Helios,” she sniffed, “his marriage was a sham, Cindy...” she turned to face her friend. “I… I pushed him away. I don’t... I’m not sure what got into me.” She sobbed louder, causing her daughter to stop what she was doing and look at her. “Fear came before me,” she said, covering her face with her palms. Cindy placed Hela in her crib and gave the child her toys before approaching Zoe. Cindy embraced Zoe and stroked her back. “I understand you.” She let go of Zoe and looked at her. “Even if you won’t tell me how you truly feel, Zoe, I know. I know how much you love Helios. If you were meant to be together, destiny would arrange for you to be together again. Yes, your relationship with him is shaky, but he adores you. I used to despise him, but now I see all of his sacrifices. I believe you should give him a chance. Believe in the process. For the time being, you may be affected by it; consider your daughter. The longer you allow yourself to be stuck in pain, the more your daughter will suffer as a result of what you’re doing. So, please, cheer up.”
Zoe’s head shook. “I kicked him out, Cindy. I said things that were inappropriate to him. Can you blame me? I’m simply terrified. If only things weren’t so complicated...” “That’s the difficult part. But you must have faith in him. I despise Helios, but what can I do? Hela requires a father figure. And you claimed their marriage was a forgery... So you don’t have to be concerned.” Zoe was speechless and wiped away her tears. “Oh, there’s also a right time for you and Helios. You’re both making me nervous. Be cheerful and take good care of your lovely daughter.” Zoe wiped her tears away once more. She nodded and smiled briefly. “Can you please relax? I’m only here to help you. So... feed your daughter already. Just go back to Manhattan to fix your problem with Helios. You were both old enough to keep things straight,” Cindy said as she exited the room.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
